Abantu bitotombera uburetwa bw’Abayuda
1 Bukeye rubanda rw’Abayuda n’abagore babo baritotomba cyane, barega bene wabo b’Abayuda
2 kuko bamwe bavugaga bati “Abahungu bacu n’abakobwa bacu turi benshi, reka tujye kwihahira tubone ibidutunga tubeho.”
3 Kandi abandi baravugaga bati “Amasambu yacu n’inzabibu zacu n’amazu yacu twabitanze ho ingwate, dufite inzara reka tujye guhaha.”
4 Kandi n’abandi baravugaga bati “Twagujije ifeza z’umusoro w’umwami dutanze amasambu yacu n’inzabibu zacu ho ingwate.
5 Ariko rero twebwe na bene wacu dusangiye ubwoko, kandi abana bacu na bo bava inda imwe n’ababo. Nyamara abahungu bacu n’abakobwa bacu tubatanga ho ibiretwa, ndetse abakobwa bacu bamwe bageze mu buretwa kandi tubuze uko twagira ngo tubacungure, kuko amasambu yacu n’inzabibu zacu bifitwe n’abandi.”
6 Numvise kwitotomba kwabo n’amaganya yabo, ndarakara cyane.
7 Mperako nigira inama ubwanjye, ntonganya imfura n’abatware ndababwira nti “Muraguriza bene wanyu inyungu irenze urugero, umuntu wese aguriza mwene wabo.”
Nuko mbateraniriza iteraniro rinini.
8 Ndababwira nti “Twebweho uko dushoboye twacunguye bene wacu b’Abayuda bari baraguzwe n’Abanyamahanga, none namwe murashaka kugura bene wanyu. Mbese twe twabagura tukabatunga?” Nuko baraceceka babura icyo bavuga.
9 Ndongera ndavuga nti “Ibyo mukora si byiza. Mbese ibikwiriye si uko mwagenda mwubaha Imana yacu, ntimwitukishe mu banzi bacu b’abanyamahanga?
10 Nanjye na bene data n’abagaragu banjye twabagurizaga ifeza n’ingano. None ndabinginze tubaharire imyenda batubereyemo.
11 Ndetse uyu munsi mubasubize amasambu yabo n’inzabibu zabo, n’inzelayo zabo n’amazu yabo, mubasubize cya gice kimwe mu ijana cy’ifeza, n’icy’ingano n’icya vino n’icy’amavuta, ibyo mwabakaga.”
12 Maze baravuga bati “Tuzabibasubiza kandi nta cyo tuzabaka, tuzabigenza nk’uko uvuze.”
Nuko mpamagaza abatambyi ndahiriza abo bantu imbere yabo, yuko bazakora nk’uko basezeranye.
13 Maze nkunkumura umwenda nari niteye ndavuga nti “Imana izakunkumure itya umuntu wese udasohoza iri sezerano, imukure mu nzu ye no ku murimo we. Uwo muntu abe ari ko akunkumurwa akamarwaho.”
Iteraniro ryose riremera riti “Amen.” Bahimbaza Uwiteka. Nuko abantu bakora nk’uko basezeranye.
Nehemiya atwara abantu neza yanga kubāka ikoro
